Building healthy hearts
By HINERANGI VAIMOSO
Monday may have been all about
the loving hearts of Valentine's
Day but Strathallan preschoolers
were busy focusing more on
healthy hearts.
The children swapped their
uniforms for striking red outfits,
brought red fruit for lunch and
made red fruit kebabs for a Heart
Foundation initiative.
Preschool manager Sue Revill
says the centre aims to teach
students the benefits of a healthy
heart from a young age, a message
that's empowering and life-long
information''.
It's amazing what children this
age take on board. Helping to
grow the vegetables in the garden,
caring for them, watering and
weeding them all has a huge
impact on preschoolers,'' she says.
The wonders of nature and the
satisfaction of growing vegetables
yourself, suddenly makes vege-
tables something appealing to
eat.''
The preschool is working
toward a Heart Foundation
Healthy Heart Award. Teacher
Lynda Thomson has become the
in-house healthy heart resident
expert over the past three years.
As part of the programme
there is a lot of conversation with
the children about nutrition and
what healthy options are for their
lunches and snacks,'' she says.
The other side of a healthy
heart is active movement -- all
that running, climbing, jumping
that comes so naturally to chil-
dren.
The fun on the children's faces
is evident in all the physical
games.''
